    I couldn’t articulate this when I was 16 but I think I wanted to spread my wings because of my sexuality. There were no lesbians in Fife in the 1960s. I knew I felt different, and quite lonely, listening to Leonard Cohen and Joni Mitchell on my own, feeling that sense of alienation and unhappiness. I thought my difference must be because I wanted to be a writer. If lesbians aren’t visible in your culture – no lesbians on TV, in books, in films – it’s very hard to come to that understanding by yourself. (anglais)
    She began writing Report for Murder (1987), the first British crime novel with a lesbian sleuth, Lindsay Gordon. “I thought, ‘This is the book I want to write, the world I want to inhabit,’” says McDermid, who’d come out to herself while at Oxford. “I wanted to write about being a lesbian, without it being one of those tub-thumping books about being a lesbian. I didn’t want to write coming-out stories. I wanted to write a story about a lesbian who has a place in the world, where her sexuality doesn’t define her. She has friendships, a life, a career, but is still uncompromisingly herself.” (anglais)
    In this radio history, novelist Val McDermid, herself in a long-term lesbian partnership, explores the story of same-sex love (anglais)
